Coach Stitt (Combined threads)

You are certainly one of the dumbest football posters on eGriz.

You do realize that this is probably the best thing you ever say about others. It goes to show that they are on the correct path and it just gets under your skin. You have no where else to go, but to drop insults. Thanks.

I am not in the bash BG group, nor am I a fan. Kinda neutral actually. Stats can be deceptive. Strength of schedule/conference, o line play, receivers, offensive scheme, etc. I get it. Stats are one of the most significant ways we measure performance. I just don't think they always tell the real truth.

Nope, not true. If you think I am giving you a compliment, you are wrong. You can't support what you say. You say dumb things. You ask me to name Griz griz qb's that BG was better than in last 25 years. I list 10 off the top of my head. You then try to change the goal post. If you meant to say which of the half dozen best Griz qb's ever is better than, the. Just write that.

Look my simple summation.

This is Stitts third year. He had to implement his Offense with guys that can run it. That does not happen over night. He has had two fantastic recruiting classes (20017 & 2016), and a fairly good class in 2015, considering that he only had 7 weeks to get and sign them.

He had coaches and players (and fans) that did not buy in to his philosophy, and those coaches and players are now gone. (Would be nice if those fans left also).

So this is truly Stitts team this fall. He owns it.

He knows it and we all know it that this is the defining season as a coach at UM. We shall see in a few months if he is capable of leading this team to the playoffs and into the future or if UM needs to look another direction. That question will take care of itself.

So hopefully fans on Egriz can put down their agendas and get behind this team and its coach... Its great to debate and argue during the offseason... But here is one fan that hopes this offseason ends soon.

Buckle up Griz fans, my opinion is these Griz have a chance to be really good.

You do realize that I never said you think it is a compliment. It is like a badge of honor. Only an obtuse ass wouldn't realize the question was intended to mean the #1 QB each year.....and yes, I just called you an obtuse ass, wasn't sure if you could figure it out or not.

I agree with much of what you say. However, there is no excuse for the last 5 games of last season. In addition, I don't buy it taking 3 years to institute his system and get the right players. Good players are good players and most don't have to be recruited for a system.

Who has Stitt recruited for his system?

A certain "moderator" might be surprised to see a majority of "regular" participants anxious to see him "moderated."

Just spit balling here, but I would assume every recruit he offered? Doubt he is recruiting for somebody else's system.

Learn to write and learn something about football and the Griz if you want to have a discussion with me--or else I will run you out of the gym. You are certainly one of the dumbest football posters on eGriz.

That's some mighty fine trash talk. Sure is a shame for you that your talk doesn't mean squat.

Would you say they will be....SCARY GOOD?

Okay, then why don't you pick out a few players and explain why/how they were recruited for Stitt's system.

I don't buy it taking 3 years to institute his system and get the right players.

As someone who religiously follows all of college football, and the coaching carousel that ensues after every season I can tell you that it takes a minimum of three years before a new coach has the ability to fully install his system, culture and recruiting base. Unless you are Saban, Meyer or Harbaugh and can literally get near NFL talent out of 50% of their recruiting class each year its going to take time. I have heard countless amounts of coaches, analysts and former players speak to this very point. It may have appeared that the team Stitt inherited was plenty talented, and to some degree that is factual. But the fact also remains that the players to fit his system in large part were not there, and the ones that did fit had little or no depth behind them.

Stitt has been to some degree handcuffed with scholarship reductions, and a scandal that predated his tenure that was reputational nightmare both in athletics and academics. I commend him for what he has done with recruiting, getting both quality athletes, but good students an people alike. Gone are the days where a Montana coach can offer a scholarship to any decent athlete and hope his character is good. A UM football recruits character needs to be verified as good now before they will offer him a scholarship, where as for example, in the Hauck days, the roster has several questionable people on it. I attended school and was around a lot of those people outside of the public eye in a college setting and they weren't all bad seeds, but there were plenty of guys who did not conduct themselves in an appropriate way and believe me when I say there was a lot more opportunity for the UM program to be embarrassed. Saw it with my own eyes.

I guess my point is that things are different now. UM coaches are facing new and different challenges than they did even five years ago, yet there is a part of our fan base who still thinks things are no different than 2001 and expect the team, no matter the coach to fall in line and have the same success. This is the season Griz fans should really start to see what we are in for. We have loads of seasoned players due to playing so many young guys the past two seasons, a QB that is a legit running threat (unlike BG) and gone is last years senior class who was they main contributor to the locker room problem (mostly one player).
